Fifty miles east of Hawkins, the cool moonlight shrouded a red two-story villa, but the windows of the villa were filled with warm yellow lights and lively laughter.

Jane, dressed in strappy jeans and with a slightly curly unkempt head, propped her chin and looked around the rectangular table at the head of which sat the well-dressed and radiant Indian lady, who was the hostess of the dinner to-day, preparing a table of delicious dishes.

Teacher Kelly, who spoke loudest and smiled the most enthusiastically, Miss Catherine, who was white-skinned and glowing, Aunt Becky, and Tyree sat on her left hand side, passionately discussing the question of "whether to add meat or vegetables to the volcanic stone soup first", and those who didn't know thought that these women were talking about the gossip in the town.

Looking at Tyre's healthy flushed face and restored her jet-black hair, Jane began to understand what Mr. Owen meant when he said "If you are loved, your flesh will grow wildly".

With her and Aunt Becky's company and care, Tyre's health miraculously improved dramatically in a few months, and she was able to not only communicate fluently with people, but also walk slowly out of her wheelchair with their support.

Jane's happiest thing every day is to share with her mother what she has learned, as well as the troubles committed by Mike, Dustin and other companions in the DND adventure, not to mention how pleasant her life is.

Tyre's body is developing benignly.

But some guys don't have a good time.

Jane's mischievous eyes turned to the right of the table and started eavesdropping.

Director Hope, who had rounded cheeks and weighed more than two hundred pounds, and Paqui, an Indian man with thick dark circles, whispered bitterness to each other, venting their complaints belonging to middle-aged men.

"We sent Sarah off in prison to start a new life, and I thought my dear ex-wife Maureen had completely let go of her psychological burden and would stay in Hawkins to remarry me and start over together, but she had to go back to New York. I could see that she still had feelings for me, so why did she have to leave? Big cities are so prosperous that people are nostalgic? ”

Director Hope touched his thinning hair, which had a faint Mediterranean tendency, and sighed softly, "Women are unreasonable animals. ”

"I couldn't agree more. But you're lucky, you can smoke and drink at any time when you're alone, and you're free. Paqui glanced at his fiancée Kelly in the women's pile like lightning, a wry smile appeared on her rough face, and she lowered her voice and said, "I'm not married yet, and I can't even decide what color underwear to wear every day... Not only does she have to take care of my clothes and meals, but she also has to report what time I get home every night... I can already have a premonition that the rest of my life will be bleak. ”

"I heard you right, old man, are you showing off to me?" Hope frowned and smiled sarcastically, "I helped you get out of the sea of suffering... On your wedding day, I will be the groom, and you will put on the best man's clothes? ”

Paqui's pupils shrank, and he raised his punchbag-sized fist at Hope, revealing a murderous look, "Don't hit my woman's idea." If you're going to be whining, try Becky, Tyre, or Joyce, who are single. ”

Tyree?

Hope showed a slightly moved expression, or really turn Jane into a daughter?

"Giggles...", the little girl who was eavesdropping covered her mouth and snickered like a little fox.

"Jane, what are you laughing at? Want your mom to know your and Mike's little secrets? ”

Jane's little face turned red like an apple, shook her head frantically, and changed the subject, "Ahem... I choked on juice, I didn't hear anything, I didn't know anything... By the way, Lena, can you eat, I'm dying of hunger! ”

"Little guy, don't be polite to your godmother, just eat as you like, just make this place your home." Lena smiled lovingly and inserted a pork chop for Jane, then raised her glass to face the crowd, "Everyone, have a drink together?" ”

"I wish Tai Rui's body a speedy recovery!" Hope took a glass of wine and drank it all,

"Thank you." Tai Rui smiled gently at Sheriff, brushed his sideburns and hair, his eyes flashed with gratitude, she had kept in mind the sheriff's care for his family in the past few months, "I guess in two months, I will be able to try to walk on my own." ”

"How about having you be a bridesmaid for me and Kelly's wedding?" Paqui reached out and wrapped his hands around his fiancée, and looked at her affectionately, as if the complaint had never existed.

Tyree hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Then call Jonathan and Nancy again, can they?" Jane said crisply, "It's lively when there are more people." ”

Speaking of Jonathan, a young man who loves to take pictures, Jane has learned from his younger brother, Will, a monk in the DND team, that this guy is a pair with Barbara, a chubby girl with glasses, and they go in and out of school every day.

And Paladin Mike revealed to Jane that his sister, the good girl Nancy, and the rich second generation King Steve were in love.

These teenagers also often get together for outings, trekking through mountains and rivers, and venting their exuberant energy that is different from ordinary people.

Paqui rubbed Jane's head and patted her chest, "I'll send out wedding invitations to old friends from all over Hawkins, even Las Vegas, and everyone will come... It's a pity that there are two people missing. ”

"Dean hasn't heard from him for a while, and I don't know if he has found Lu Guangming."

At the mention of these two names, the lively atmosphere suddenly became gloomy, and the smell of regret and worry filled the air.

"Did you find out? Recently, there have been news reports in various places about natural disasters and horrific accidents, and many people have died... It's an ominous sign," a few wrinkles appeared on Kelly's face, "Will Dean and Lu Guangming be negatively affected?" ”

"No problem, he will definitely be able to bring people back in time!" Catherine raised her smooth pretty face slightly, and her tone was firm, "He has never let us down. ”

Yes, everyone couldn't help but show a look of reminiscence.

Dean, the young man, almost single-handedly reversed their tragic fate and brought everything to good and hopeful.

"I never doubted that, so I've been waiting for my kids and husband to come home." Lena's red eyes swept over her faces, and she smiled, "The reason why I called everyone to dinner today is because today in mid-April is Dean's 20th birthday. ”

"He and Lao Lu are not around, but I feel that if we think strongly about them in our hearts, no matter how far away we are, they will also feel something, and they will also feel our prayers and thoughts, and respond..."

"Wait a minute."

Lena turned around and went into the kitchen and took out a cake, placed it in the center of the table, and put candles on the cake with Catherine, and couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes.

Tick, tick.

Dripped down the pointed chin into the cake.

"Jane, don't you have the ability to be in the Black Domain?" Hope couldn't bear to watch the two women who missed their lovers suffer, and urged Jane, who was about to cry with a pouting mouth, "Help find Dean's whereabouts?" ”

"I've always wanted to report to him on the progress of meditation and telekinesis training, but I've tried countless times, but I can't find it," Jane sniffled, "and he's like invisible..."

"What is the reason for this?" Kelly asked,

Lena and Catherine also turned around.

"Either Dean went to another world, or... His flesh died. ”

"That can't be!" Lena was so excited that a few scales of the snake demon appeared on her face, and she grabbed Jane's hand, grabbing the back of the little girl's hand with so much strength that the back of the little girl's hand turned red, "Jane, please help find it now..."

The little girl bit her lip and nodded.

Close your eyes.

Zizi... Wisps of silver electricity jumped, and the crystal lamp on the top of the restaurant began to flicker and darken.

An invisible force swooped into the air along Jane's petite body towards the surroundings, flew along the Black Domain to the distant and invisible shore, and then came to an abrupt halt.

Jane searched for only a second, and suddenly stared at the wooden door at the entrance of the villa with round eyes, and her small mouth grew into an "O" shape, which could almost swallow an egg.

"I—I found him."

Lena and Catherine realized something and looked at the door.

A regular knock on the door followed, each of which seemed to hit people's hearts, holding their breath and sweating from their faces.

Crunch –

Without waiting for everyone to react, a strange force outside the door couldn't wait to push open the door, and two dusty figures bathed in the moonlight and walked into the hall.

Handsome and sunny, resolute vicissitudes, the two longing faces seem to emerge from Lena's dream, becoming clearer and more familiar.

"I—Am I dreaming?"

"It's not a dream, Lena, Catherine, everybody... I brought people back. ”

Dean ran to the restaurant with a smile, hugged Lena heavily, and then hugged Catherine's waist next to her, lifted her up and spun around, and touched her face in distress.

"Why did you lose weight again?"

"No, I knew you would come back, I knew!"

"It was fate!"

"Don't leave me behind."

Catherine screamed and hugged the man, and raised her pretty face, her fiery red lips raining down, and the tip of her nose pressed against the tip of her nose.

And Lena and Lu Guangming stared at each other blankly for a long time, from the West Lafayette for more than two years, the hardships and dangers they have experienced, the sour and sweet they have tasted are all in their eyes.

In the next second, Lu ran towards Lena quickly, and the scene left everyone in the hall speechless, they had never seen someone move so quickly.

Lou ran up to him and hugged Lena without saying a word, and Lena hugged Lou's neck tightly, her long black hair falling to his shoulders and letting out a sigh of satisfaction.

Their cheeks were pressed together, their fiery hearts collided, and then they merged into one, as if they were originally one.

No, it's not just the two of them.

Lou and Lena stretched out their left and right hands respectively, called Dean and Catherine over and hugged them, and the family was reunited in the living room.

Shadow hugged her family with all her might, looking at Dean gratefully with tears in her eyes.

Jane's telekinesis flew directly onto Dean's back, and she climbed up like a koala.

"I'm going to hug too, by the way, Dean, happy birthday!"

Everyone at the table looked at this scene with a smile and relief,

"Old Lu, long time no see!"

"Welcome home!"

Loved ones, friends, and lovers are welcomed and embraced.

Dean's heart, which had gradually frozen as his strength increased, also began to thaw.

He felt a fire, warmth, and happiness.

Fate also rewarded him.

"Bloodline" has quietly skyrocketed from 100 percent to 15 percent.
